I have finished the book, Blues Taveling..... Holy Sites of The Delta by Steve Cheesborough.
It's a great travel book, available at Cat Head, and suited perfectly for this quest we are on. The one thing I had overlooked in my initial search for the real crossroads, was the movie Crossroads. The movie was filmed in part right where we were going to be, and as the book pointed out, the movie was responsible for the renewed interest in the tale, so the crossroads used in the movie, since it was only a few miles south of Rosedale in Beulah became an important destination. By the way, if I haven't stated this Roger from Cathead(www.cathead.biz) has been very helpful, so if you are in Clarkdale, stop in and say hello.
Dave and I realized last evening when we got together to jam a bit, that we were within a week of leaving, and we are stoked! Our flight from Tampa leaves around 5 on March 1st, and arrives in Memphis at 6:45. We are going to start the quest in the rain I'm afraid, according to the extended forcast, but it does look like Fri, Sat, and Sun will be better. I'll try to post at least once more before we leave, if anyone is reading this, leave me a comment
